Finding battlemat

Deathclip · **Posted:** Tue Feb 11, 2014 4:14 pm

So with the citadel battlemat gone I can't find a proper grass mat to play the game. I mean sure the kitchen table looks great with some trees and ruins of osgiliath but I could use a grass mat too.

The dimensions I need are the standard 4x6 (if I'm correct because in the metric system that I use its 112x168 cm). Or really anything bigger or a bit narrower would work just fine

I dont want the grass to be static so that my modles dont float on it and I don't mind the colour. I just want it green.

Finally, I need worldwide or europe shipping as I live in greece.
Cheers!

Pm whitewizard. He owns a vinyl battlemat company and has recently released a grass effect one for about £30ish. If not, search eBay. There are loads on there.

Theres plenty on eBay, most are 60x120cm but you could easy whack two together which is what i do.

Can you please post a picture of some of the battlemats you purchased on eBay? Preferably ones that are currently on the eBay store right now.

I've never really considered buying one because the picture(s) on the listings look so fake. You never really get a true sense of what the material is like, what it looks like unfolded on a table, how it looks under lighting... etc.

Thanks :-D

I figured this would also be the appropriate place to ask about this.
I'm looking for a mat that fits more of what I image Rhun to look like. I imagine it more of a West Texas or Arizona type of Desert like this

I know I could use the new Technical Paint but that would take quite a lot of work to make that lol.

I'm trading a battle Matt with him!!
But JamesR you could get a large piece of cloth glue on sand and texture it on a larger scale as I used a brown paint and it creating a sort of crackled affect just like the pic you have or even use card board or wood

What about some kind of clay/putty that shrinks? That should give you the cracked ground effect.

When I painted the sand it cracked and I just used the gw set with a big brown bottle of paint and ochre paint

This here is the Javis Summer Green Gaming Mat, probably the best colourwise in my opinion.

Zuzzy does not have bad customer service they have cash flow and third word manufacturer problems. Make sure the product is in stock before you order.

Home made mat

Mike paints and flocks canvas and old bed sheets. I do not know of a way to make mud cracks on cloth. I can do it on a hard surface. Let me get through the Ice storm and I will post a materials list on the non lotr wip.

I use an old green US Army blanket I brought home from overseas. It's almost 6x4' (not exact, I forget the proper dimensions) and it has a sort of grassy look to it.
